i386 timer_resume is updating jiffies, not jiffies_64. It looks there is a potential overflow problem. And jiffies_64 and wall_jiffies should be protected by xtime_lock.

Fix handling of cramfs images created by util-linux containing empty regular files. Images created by cramfstools 1.x were ok. Fill out inode contents in cramfs_iget5_set() instead of get_cramfs_inode() to prevent issues if cramfs_iget5_test() is called with I_LOCK|I_NEW still set.

The SCSI layer uses SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE (96) for the sense buffer size, even though some other code uses "sizeof(struct request_sense)" (which is 64 bytes). Allocate the buffer using the bigger of the two for safety. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Just to be safe, we should not trigger a conditional reschedule during the early boot sequence. We've historically done some questionable early on, and the safety warnings in __might_sleep() are generally turned off during that period, so there might be problems lurking. This affects CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, which takes over might_sleep() to cause a voluntary conditional reschedule.

This fixes a use-after-free bug in the usb-serial core. It is simple to trigger this (open a usb-serial port, then yank the device out before closing the port.)

We want to use the "struct slab" size, not the size of the pointer to same. As it is, we'd not print out the last <n> entry pointers in the slab (where <n> is ~10, depending on whether it's a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel). Gaah, that slab code was written by somebody who likes unreadable crud. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Bridge would crash because of uninitailized timer if STP is used and device was inserted into a bridge before bridge was up. This got introduced when the delayed port checking was added. Fix is to not enable STP on port unless bridge is up.

session when multiply mounted. Fixes slow response when cifs client is mounted to shares on multiple servers and oplock break occurs (usually due to attempt to multiply open a file). When treeids on mutiple mounted shares match and we find the wrong match first, we searched for the wrong cached files to send oplock break response for which usually meant that no matching file was found and thus the server would have to timeout the notification. Oplock break timeout is about 20 seconds on some servers so this could cause significantly slower performance on file open calls in a few cases (in particular when multiple shares are mounted from multiple servers, tree ids match, and we have a cached file which is later opened multiple times). This was the most important of the bugs that was found and fixed at Connectathon (interoperability testing event) this week.

Almost all the code for the VIA RNG is guarded with __i386__ #ifdefs, the only exception being the enumeration of RNG types which is used to index into the rng_vector ops array. This patch adds an ifdef around that for consistency and since the guard makes a difference when adding new RNG types on non-i386 hardware.

On some platforms readq performs additional work to make sure I/O is done in a coherent way. This is not needed for time retrieval as done by the time interpolator. So we can use readq_relaxed instead which will improve performance. It affects sparc64 and ia64 only. Apparently it makes a significant difference on ia64.

v9fs has been plagued by an over-complicated approach trying to map Linux dentry semantics to Plan 9 fid semantics. Our previous approach called for aggressive flushing of the dcache resulting in several problems (including wierd cwd behavior when running /bin/pwd). This patch dramatically simplifies our handling of this fid management. Fids will not be clunked as promptly, but the new approach is more functionally correct. We now clunk un-open fids only when their dentry ref_count reaches 0 (and d_delete is called). Another simplification is we no longer seek to match fids to the process-id or uid of the action initiator. The uid-matching will need to be revisited when we fix the security model.
